It would fit into this though. I just think that much weight would be hard to maneuver up front. Wonder if I could put that on the back? I'll have to try the bungee cord technique. Wow, didn't realize the bag weighed over 8 pounds, either. Yikes.
Those Wald delivery baskets can handle a case of 24 and most delivery guys prefer the basket up front. It does affect the steering - but not negatively. The steering becomes slower, more stable - and you'll just have to try it. It would be your lightest solution.
On my touring bike I travel with a bar bag and front panniers and adding rear panniers is only when I run out of room up front.
Good luck with your classes.
